Sunday Clothes

"Sunday Clothes"

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after
church one Sunday afternoon when he came to
a crossroads where he met a little girl coming
from the other direction.

"Hello, " said the little boy."

"Hi," replied the little girl.

"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.

"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my
way home", answered the little girl.

"I'm also on my way home from church. Which
church do you go to?" asked the little boy.

"I go to the Lutheran church back down the road,"
replied the little girl. What about you?"

"I go to the Catholic church back at the top of the hill,"
replied the little boy.

They discover that they are both going the same way
so they decided that they'd walk together.

They came to a low spot in the road where spring
rains had partially flooded the road, so there was
no way that they could get across to the other side
without getting wet.

"If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going
to skin me alive," said the little girl.

"My Mom will tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday
suit wet," replied the little boy.

"I tell you what I think I'll do, "said the little girl. I'm
gonna pull off all my clothes and hold them over
my head and wade across."

"That's a good idea," replied the little boy.
"I'm going to do the same thing with my suit."

So they both undressed and waded across to the
other side without getting their clothes wet. They
were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry
before putting their clothes back on, when the little
boy finally remarked,

"You know, I never realized before just how much
difference there really is between a Lutheran and a Catholic!"
